Chapter 8: Extraordinary Sword Expertise
In the luxurious bedroom, Miria sat in front of the window, hugging a soft silk pillow.
Her eyes were looking at Li Er in the practice field outside the window.
Arcane fluctuations continuously emanated from the staff in Lear's hand. Various spells shot out and smashed the alchemical puppets in the training ground into pieces.
That quick and decisive action made Millia feel that even the high-level professionals in the palace were inferior to him.
After destroying the last alchemical puppet in the training ground, the maid Ino who was standing nearby handed Li Er the tea that had been prepared long ago.
Lear also patted the maid's head, and the atmosphere between the two seemed very harmonious.
Millia fell silent. The current Lear was completely different from the Lear in the secret room before.
He doesn't have that eerie temperament, but is rather gentle and sunny. Coupled with his handsome looks, he can be said to be perfect as a fiancé.
But when Millia thought of what Lear did to her in the secret room, she couldn't help but feel fear in her heart.
After drinking Ino's tea, as if feeling the gaze, Lear raised his head and looked not far away, just in time to see Millia holding the curtain and looking at him carefully.
He smiled back.
Millia seemed to have seen something horrible. She quickly pulled up the curtains and walked into the house.
"By the way, Ino, how is Milia doing recently?" Lear suddenly asked.
Ino was stunned for a moment, and followed Lear's gaze to the bedroom where Millia was imprisoned not far away.
"Her Royal Highness's mood has almost stabilized. Her appetite has improved recently and she even chats with me."
"Is that so?" A smile appeared on Li Er's lips. If that's the case, then he can reap some more profits.
…
Handing the staff in his hand to Ino, Lear walked straight towards the three-story mansion.
Three days had passed since he returned from the Arcane Academy, and during these three days he had almost adapted to the profession of mage.
To put it simply, it means throwing spells at the enemy while ensuring your own safety.
Although it felt quite interesting, he still missed the passion and excitement of close combat as a war knight.
Thinking in his mind, Lear slowly stopped walking.
He suddenly realized a problem.
With his current strength, physique, and agility attributes, he is actually no different from the balanced war knight in his previous life.
Although he does not have the professional skills of a war knight, as long as he has the sword skills learned from his previous life, he may be able to engage in close combat!
As a legendary war knight, those sword skills have long been engraved deep in his soul!
Without the skills of a war knight, perhaps you can use spells to assist sword fighting?
Lear's eyes sparkled slightly.
Melee Mage!
This was a good idea, and he immediately wanted to try whether he could still use the sword skills he had learned in his previous life.
"Ino, is there a sword at home?" He turned his head suddenly and asked the little maid following behind him.
"Sword?" Ino was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little strange, "Master, do you want to practice sword? But aren't you a...mage?"
…
Walking on the streets of the royal city, Lear felt helpless.
As a family of war knights, is it reasonable that there is not even a sword in the house?
He had to go out and find one, and even put the plan of going to Milia's room to brush up on his affinity for the law on the back burner.
How could a woman be more important than a sword? If he became a "melee mage", he would have created a new genre! A genre that was unique to him.
After all, other mages don't have extra attribute points to add to attributes such as strength, physique, and agility.
Soon, Lear arrived at a blacksmith shop in the royal city according to his memory.
The blacksmith shop is located at the junction of the royal city's citizen area and the slums, in a very remote corner. There are not many people around. There are several long swords and large shields placed at the door.
Li Er remembered that in his previous life, a player had obtained an extraordinary-level rapier here.
The levels of equipment in the game are the same as professions, from blank to elementary, intermediate, advanced, extraordinary...
Extraordinary equipment can be considered as powerful equipment that can only be obtained in the middle and late stages, and it corresponds to extraordinary-level professionals.
When you walk into the blacksmith shop, you are greeted by a scorching hot breath. The furnace nearby is still burning, and a blacksmith apprentice is constantly hammering on a red-hot piece of iron.
"A wizard."
A lazy voice came from not far away.
Lear looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with a white beard leaning back in a chair, squinting at him.
"Oh, delicate wizard, this is not the place you should come to. If you want to buy a decorative sword, you can turn right at the end of Little Street. There is a decorative shop that has what you need."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lear also looked at the old man in front of him. He clearly felt a trace of power from the law of war in the other person. This was a professional, and not weak.
He smiled slightly and said calmly, "I'm not here to buy those decorations. What I need is a real weapon that can kill people."
The old man was a little surprised. "Are you sure? You are a mage. The weapons we have here are not something that ordinary people can use..."
Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Lear picked up a sword at the door.
He waved the sword in his hand as if he was holding a toy, creating sword flowers.
[You have obtained the expertise - Extraordinary Sword Expertise]
[Superb Sword Expertise: When you use sword weapons, the attack strength increases by 50% and the attack speed increases by 20%]
The system panel appeared in front of Lear.
Those things engraved in the soul will not disappear just because you change your body.
Like an instinct, Lear's swordsmanship as a legendary war knight bloomed again.
He felt a sense of joy and nostalgia in his heart. For a strong man who uses a sword, the sword is his soul! The old man lying on the chair saw this scene, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Who are you?"
"Lear Stuart, a wizard." Lear replied lightly, holding the sword in his hand.
"Lil Stuart? Are you the heir of the Stuart family who changed his profession to become a wizard?" The old man was stunned.
"Yes," Lear replied.
After a while, the old man reacted and looked at Li Er with strange eyes, "No wonder your swordsmanship is pretty good, but you have already changed your job to a mage, what do you still need a sword for?"
"Exercise." Li Er made up a random excuse. "Well, it can also be used for self-defense in times of crisis, such as when the magic power is exhausted."
The old man curled his lips when he heard this, obviously not believing Lear's nonsense. He waved his hand and pointed to the weapon rack not far away.
"Never mind. It's up to you. If you want weapons, go over there and take a look. It's enough to train you to defend yourself."
Li Er glanced at the weapon rack. Most of them were blank and beginner weapons. There were no intermediate weapons. He shook his head and said, "Not these."
"The weapon I want is the strongest weapon you have here! You should know what I mean." He stared at the old man in front of him with deep eyes.
The blacksmith shop fell silent, and the blacksmith apprentice at the side also stopped what he was doing and looked at Lear curiously.
The silence lasted for several tens of seconds before the old man laughed and said:
"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life, Joaquin."
"You, a wizard, want the best weapon I have?"
